Guys!

Sorry I took so long to respond, been on the road just about every week. I finally had a chance to run up to the cabin. I think you guys are onto something with the kill switch. After switching it on and off, it started. I took it out for a quick rip and after about 30 mins it killed again. Switching the kill switch back and forth a couple times and it fired up again. I couldn't make it happen again, and I needed to head back home. I'll try to pull the switch apart the next time I head up to the cabin.

Don't pull the switch apart!! Many have leaned the hard way on this when the ball bearing and springs fly out. Spray some electrical cleaner in the cracks and crevices and work the switches back and forth to remove any corrosion from the brass contact plates. Happens a lot on the left control switches especially the on and off emergency slide switch as many people don't use it often enough.
